Parks to open SATURDAY

[Skolmann]

Hopefully I’ll now be able to access my bluefish spots on the Manasquan.

Sandy Hook is a federal park Murphy has no authority over. Only Island Beach State Park is a State Park on the Atlantic side. The other beaches are town or county controlled.

Remember Christie's 4th of July sitting letting NJ's one and only state controlled beach stay closed, because he would not let the Insurance companies get a rebate promised by the legislature?
Leonardo was another one but on SH Bay.

I took a trip to my spot in sea bright this evening and the light up signs coming up to the highlands bridge stated that SANDY HOOK PARK CLOSED I dont know if they were anticipating the opening of parks this Saturday but that's what the sign stated this evening

Sandy Hook is set to open next Saturday May 9 with restrictions: parking at 50 %,no swimming or group activities. Fishing will be allowed as long as social distancing is observed.

Wondering if and when camping will open up, with parameters of course.

Live in West Orange. South Mountain reservation opened back up today. There were no lack of large electronic road side signs stating parks open, mandatory compliance to current safety regulations in place and masks required to access parks and trails. Every lot was packed and I mean absolutely over flowing with cars being how nice a weather day it was and everyone jonesing from cabin fever. At least 50% of people were walking in groups, side by side without masks. This is the reckless behavior that will get parks shut down again before you can blink and everyone will be bitching. Say what you want but parks are a public resource and no one idiot reserves the right to risk people's lives while using that resource for their own enjoyment while ruining it for everyone else. Absolute morons.

Saw the same thing by the GAP today .
Hundreds of people parked on the road because Federal parks are still closed .
Well over half , walking in groups no masks .
Ranger vehicles watching the whole thing .

I’m sure reports that went back to Trenton were not positive ones ..

Did you really think that with people under the shelter at home directive for 6+ weeks...and when we finally get decent weather people wouldn’t go out...or did you think they’d say to themselves’ “oh maybe I should stay home some more “.

I fished the PP Canal and a few others spots along the shore today and really did not see large crowds or gatherings of people.

Everyone expected people to go out ..
But at least follow the social distancing mandates and wear a mask until this crap passes .

Places I passed today showed the same disregard for everyone that the kids showed on spring break last month .
